Sequel to "The Dragon Sage." Spike and Twilight live and love comfortably in their tree-castle. But a princess in love with a dragon and life-long friend certainly attracts attention. How will everypony else react?

Fav'd. It's always nice to get a look into the grim slavery that Spike lives in.

Though he needs to:A) Learn the phrase "Go suck a bucket of dicks"andB) Go have some adventures on his own. He has scales better than plate mail, fire breath, claws and fangs that can shear through diamonds, a very high IQ, thumbs and a direct line to God/Celestia. He's better qualified for danger than any of them other than Twilight.

Or he could do the world a favor and eat that hideous crystal friendship tree. Damn thing is a crime against nature/equinity/aesthetics/architectural design.

4473332 Thank you thank you THANK YOU! Why am I getting so much positive attention. If you didn't know, I'm a newbie a writing. I've only recently started making stories. I'm glad you are following me. Oh I could just... just...

4476791 Wow... Um... thanks. But I'm not that good man! I'm just a beginner. Surely it's not that good? Not that I'm complaining, but I have so much positive feedback. Not even any constructive criticism. Wow, It.... wow! I really have improved my writing skills!

I love my friends… and they seem to love me, but… not as much as they love each other. It’s like, they have a stronger bond with each other than they have with me.

This right here is an unfortunate possible truth that makes the whole dang show tough to appreciate at times. With Spike in this state of mind, I think the best thing that could happen is what happened to Dave Lizewski, but with a more empowering outcome: the ponies all suffer through a broadcast in which he's being beaten to death. Then it cuts moments before he saves himself, leaving them all panicked and in tears.

This fic trully deserves every like and favorite it gets, this fic is completely awesome, you writte so well that I could almost feel what Spike was feeling, congratulations, keep up the good work and maybe even update again today :D

I'd love to see what Twilight would do if Spike just went and started taking breaks whenever he wanted. Or got a job! In a world of hooves, the dragon with thumbs is king!

Heck, given that Earth and Pegasus ponies need to use their mouths to write, he could probably make a decent living as a freelance scribe. In ye days of olde, 'writing things down for random people' actually was a viable profession.

I see what Luna is trying to get at. Spike has to tell others about his problems if he wants anything to change. And he better do so soon because the way things are going he might either kill himself or work himself to death.

This thought of ending it come to me a few times when I was younger from the bullying, feeling like an outcast. I'm grateful that I'm still here and I hope Spike will find himself soon. I don't want Spike to be the sidekick, a punching bag, getting moments of appreciation and the rest of the time neglect. I won't die out of spite. Find the strength Spike.

4478450 Yeah I went through that too. Every time I saw the knife in the kitchen I just... yeah. But I made Origin of Egghead, go check that out if you want to know some of what happened to me in my life.

4475285 Your new at writing? That's shocking what you did in chapter three, jumbling up words, the spaces, capitalization; you showed how spike was feeling as he was losing control. Spike finds his feelings well and that is the problem right there. Maybe an outside party like Zecora could help him. But then you'd need to come up with a lot of rhymes. Maybe Cheerilee or Cadence since she has known Spike longer being Twilight's foalsitter.

I nearly had a heart attack when I checked to see if the story was still marked incomplete; for a moment there, I didn't notice the "in".So far this story has been excellent, especially for a new writer, and though it thoroughly violates my headcanon, I don't mind for a story this amazing. The quality of this story coupled with its speed has definitely earned a well-deserved follow

That seems like a wonderful way to fake your own death. Write a misery journal and a suicide note, then walk into a forest where body would probably be eaten before it had time to cool. Then walk out a few score miles away and it's happily ever after Spike.

OH MY CELESTIA! I was just aimlessly wandering fimfiction, when I found out this story is FEATURED! OMG THANK YOU ALL! I LOVE YOOOOOOOOOOU!
